Hi, looking into building a PC for the first time, but am really worried about buying incompatible components, or just 'getting it wrong' in general.
So far I know the ideal PC I'm looking for is a gaming PC with:

Ideally I'd love to run games like Overwatch with ease and good case temperatures. With this in mind, what components/build would you recommend, and any general do's and don'ts for beginners?
Thanks for your patience and any help you can give
Edit: I'm from the UK, budget is at most £500 - £800, if it needs to be higher in order to play a game like overwatch smoothly then I'll look into it, and already have monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers + headphones.
So far I know the ideal PC I'm looking for is a gaming PC with:
- Mid-tower case
- PGA ATX motherboard (Only want 1 graphics card, no SLI needed)
- 6GB ram minimum (Overwatch recommended ram)
- 1 GeForce GTX Graphics Card (Only really had experience with GeForce, any other reccs?)
- AMD Ryzen CPU (How many cores/GHz are necessary?)
- Stock Cooler (Water cooling doesn't sound like a good idea for beginner)
- Semi-Modular PSU (Heard semi-modular would be best, thoughts? What wattage?)
- 512GB SSD (Is this enough? Maybe 1TB?)
